Bailey's Black Dog

The Curfew

As it turned out Scarlet was fine, Robert and his family not so much. His kids were relatively unharmed besides a concussion and a broken arm. Robert had destroyed his leg, he was going to be in a cast for six months, his bones were powderised. And Maureen almost wound up dead (Karma's a bitch). Jimmy and I had gone back to England, there was no reason to stay in Morocco any longer. No sooner did we get off the plane, did Jimmy spot a young girl, I wisely said I had to use the restroom and hid out to spy on Jimmy. Sure as shit, they exchanged numbers. I returned to Jimmy, acting like I knew nothing. When we got home I walked upstairs and landed on the bed, the cool sheets felt so good. I had fallen asleep, I hadn't slept in days. It felt like seconds before Jimmy had woken me up,
"How long was I asleep for?" I asked,
"About four hours," He said, smiling, I looked up at the man standing at my bedside. Jimmy Page was a beautiful man, with his emerald eyes and his messy, raven hair, I wanted to capture this moment of him in a photo. More than anything I wanted to pull him down into the bed and make some serious love, but I couldn't let him back into my heart that easily.
"You're so pretty," Jimmy said sitting down, I smiled, I knew he was being honest, but he just wanted to fuck. I put my hand on his arm and squeezed it. He was so skinny I could almost wrap my whole hand around his arm. He leaned over and kissed me,
"I love you," he said, I smiled and pretended to peacefully fall asleep again. I didn't know what to say, I didn't know if I loved him or I hated him. I felt him kiss me on my forehead before he stood up and left so I could sleep in peace. I let myself drift off again, this time I was dreaming about how things used to be between Jimmy and I. It was the late sixties and everyone was happy. Walking around barefoot while clinging to Jimmy's arm and thinking he was so perfect. I missed the days of warm smiles and sweet kisses. Sitting on an amp case backstage at Yardbirds shows, looking at Jimmy and thinking about how much I loved him, wanting him to feel the same about me. Soon enough I was woken up again.

¨ Bailey, I think I'm going to go out for a while,¨ Jimmy said, I sat up, I knew what was going on.

¨ Jimmy, you don't think I didn' t see you give that girl your phone number,¨ I said,

¨ What are you talking about?¨ he asked, the tone in his voice gave him away completely.

¨ James, are you really serious? You cheat on me, and I don't forgive you, so you go and do it again, what the hell is wrong with you?" I asked, his face turned bright red,

¨Bailey, Im so sorry,¨ he said,

¨ Obviously you arnt, because you keep doing it,¨ I said,

¨ Well I dont know what the bleedin' big deal is, I did't actually cheat on you this time,¨ he said, I started to cry,

¨ But you were going to,¨ I said, Jimmy, got up and went down the stairs, I got up out of the bed and followed him,

¨I thought you wouldnt want anything to do with me,¨ Jimmy said,

¨I think you need a curfew,¨I said,

¨What?¨ Jimmy asked,

¨ You don't go anywhere without me, and we dont go anywhere past the hour of nine o ' clock,¨ I said taking all of the car keys.

I'm a grown man, I don't need a curfew, plus, you're not my mother!" Jimmy said,

¨ Then don't make me act like it, ¨ I said, smiling and walking up the stairs. I was so upset, I was just getting to forgive him, but no, of course not.
